Go Rams and Missouri!

No, the Spartan Laser is still there, which was the reason lock-on was taken out.

The Missile Pod will probably also be present, and this is based off of the Halo 3 engine, not the Halo 2 engine.

Sure, there's a variant of the Halo: CE Pistol, the Halo 2 Brute Plasma Rifle, but I don't think that game engines can be combined in any way of sorts.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

No one should ever say that.

The Spartan Laser elimates the need for auto-lock. Besides, that was overpowered.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Therefore, it would take a good chunk of work to revert back to the Halo 2 system.
